Immigration Reform Bill Appears to be Dead

Thank God if this is true. This bill would have had disastrous results if passed. I still can’t understand what the president was thinking. Anytime you are on the same side as Ted Kennedy you are in trouble. He must be trying to forge his legacy, but what kind of legacy would this have given him? He has done nothing with this bill but drive away most of the remaining supporters he had. Futher driving away his supporters was this:

“His comments last week were not helpful,” Lott added, alluding to Bush’s remark – repeated twice last week – that those who deride the bill as amnesty are trying to frighten Americans.

President Bush has been leading a legitimate and noble war on terror, but then we leave the borders open and allow anyone to walk into this country?

Mitt Romney was right at the debate last Tuesday, we don’t need new immigration laws, we just need to enforce the laws we already have and the public agrees.

A FOX News poll finds that Americans think it would be better to enforce current immigration laws instead of an overhaul.

A 58 percent majority says the United States needs to enforce the current laws, while 34 percent think the country’s immigration laws need to be completely overhauled.

 If we are not willing to enforce the current laws, why should we believe the new laws will be enforced?

If this bill is dead it goes to show you what can happen when conservatives band together and let their voices be heard. We can affect change. We always see protesters on television voicing their opinions. These protesters are almost always liberals. They make noise and are heard. This time conservatives let their voices be heard and hopefully it has paid off.
